Teaching of special educational needs

'A Must-Have Resource for Educators... a game-changing resource for educators, offering a holistic and compassionate approach to inclusive education while fostering a restorative learning environment.' Reader Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Restorative Practice is an effective and well documented approach to build positive relationships and transform how students and teachers work with one another and creates great positive shifts in behaviour and accountability.

But is the same true when working with children or young people with SEN? How do you adapt your approach?

This practical guide explains how to implement restorative approaches with young people with special needs in educational or residential settings. Through exploring how restorative practice is being used in general terms and a number of case studies, this first of its kind book will help you adapt your approach for those with additional needs including Autism, ADHD, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability and communication difficulties. It includes guidance on particular issues such as staff facing crises, the issue of physical restraint and additional support parents require.

With personalised, practical strategies you can transform your classroom or residential setting to a positive, restorative environment with confidence.

Reviews for Restorative Practice and Special Needs: A Practical Guide to Working Restoratively with Young People

This is an important book at an important point in the development of Restorative Practices. With its commitment to restorative ideas of accountability, responsibility and healing, it will help all those working with children with special needs to develop new, deeply inclusive ways of working that bring benefit to children and teachers. -- Dr Gillean McCluskey, Moray House School of Education, University of Edinburgh When students with special needs get in trouble in school, they are often punished for behavior they can barely control. In this highly readable, incisive book from two pioneers of Restorative Justice, Burnett and Thorsborne craft a tailored response that offers these students both accountability and much-needed support. -- David R. Karp, PhD, Professor of Sociology, Skidmore College, NY
